The Faculty Artist Series at the University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music presents pianist Alexander Tentser in a piano recital featuring works by Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff. The free-admission performance will be held at 7:00 p.m. in Holsclaw Hall on Wednesday, January 10, 2018.

About the Artist:
Alexander Tentser began studying piano with his father at the age of four in Kiev, Ukraine. After a highly acclaimed performance of Grieg’s Piano Concerto at age twelve, he was recommended for studies at the Gnessin Music College in Moscow, Russia, the oldest music college in the country. He continued his piano education at the Gnessin Russian Music Academy with Professor Theodor Gutmann, a student and assistant of Heinrich Neuhaus, who taught in the celebrated Russian tradition. Alexander received a full scholarship for doctoral studies with Professor Nohema Fernandez at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

At present, Dr. Tentser directs the Pima Community College Orchestra in Tucson, as well as teaching music courses there. He also teaches piano part-time at the University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music. Alexander is a sought-after lecturer teaching music courses for adults for the Learning Curve in Tucson.
